The Dunk Contest is officially back! Minnesota Timberwolves forward Zach LaVine and Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon put on what is being perceived as the best dunk contest ever this past Saturday night.

The NBA finally got the format right, but more importantly they got the athletes they needed to make the event great again. Aaron Gordon, who many believe had the better dunks in the contest was nothing short of amazing. Gordon used Magic mascot "Stuff" in three of his dunks, one of which Gordon jumped over the mascot in pike position for what was by far the best dunk of the night.

LaVine, the winner of the event in what was essentially a sudden death round performed a number of dunks that showed off his unbelievable leaping ability.

Hopefully these two players realize the magnitude of what they accomplished Saturday night and return to the contest next year for an encore.
